Vincent Lecavalier scored twice for the Flyers, including the game-tying goal with 25 seconds left in regulation. Lecavalier's first goal was the 400th of his career.

"I've always wanted to have a long career, but you don't come into the league saying, 'I want a certain amount of goals,"' Lecavalier said. "You come into the league saying, 'I want to win the Stanley Cup.' I never even thought about 400. Now that it was today I was proud of it, but as a hockey player your goal is to win a Stanley Cup."

Kimmo Timonen also scored for Philadelphia, which has lost three of four to remain in third place in the Metropolitan Division.

"I thought our team competed real hard," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "They had an attitude today that they were going to show them something and I think they did. I know the outcome wasn't what we wanted, but we attacked and put a lot of pucks at the net."

Andrej Meszaros and Zdeno Chara also scored, and Tuukka Rask made a career-high 49 saves for the Bruins.

"They play their system to a 'T' no matter what," Berube said. "They don't vary from it. They're a very competitive, heavy team."

Bergeron scored to give Boston a 1-0 lead in the shootout and Claude Giroux, Philadelphia's second shooter, tied it. But no other Flyers shooter scored.

The Bruins' last road setback came in overtime Feb. 26 at Buffalo, and they haven't lost on the road in regulation since a Jan. 9 defeat at Los Angeles.

Lecavalier scored his second goal with 25 seconds left. With goalie Steve Mason on the bench, Philadelphia pressed into the Boston zone. Johnny Boychuk had a chance to clear the zone, but the puck bounced over his stick on a backhand clearing attempt and went right to Jakub Voracek.

Rask contested Voracek, who passed in front to a wide-open Lecavalier.

It looked as if Boston had it won in regulation.

Boston erased a one-goal deficit with a pair of second-period goals.

Chara scored on the power play 5:44 into the period. Jarome Iginla set Chara up for the goal with a pass in front of the net, and Chara wheeled to his backhand and lifted it past Mason to the far side of the net.

Bergeron continued his torrid pace with a goal in his seventh straight game, this one with 8:55 left in the period to give the Bruins a 3-2 advantage. Bergeron whirled around from the left circle and his turnaround shot slipped under Mason's pads.
